Pato

Yesterday I saw you pass byAyer te vi pasar
With airs of a big shotCon aires de bacán
In a fancy carEn una vuature copera
I greeted you and you acted dumbTe saludé y vos te hiciste el gil
As if you didn't know meComo si no me conocieras
You had on your fancy hatLlevabas en tu carablanca de fifí
More dust than a highwayMás polvo que una carretera
And I got so madY fue tal la bronca que yo me agarre
That I wanted to yell at you like thisQue quise gritarte así

Duck, you were a duck all alongPato fuistes en todo momento
Duck, even if you try to fool aroundPato, aunque quieras despistar
Dry, now you have an apartmentSeco, hoy tenés apartamento
And they pay you a lot of wind to show off at the PigallY te pagan mucho vento pa lucirte en el Pigall
Duck, scoundrel, unlucky, who styles your hair with pomadePato, atorrante, desgracia'o, que te peinas a la gomina
Duck, today you're a tango dancer and a big shotPato, hoy sos milonguero y compadrón
When the girl catches on to youCuando te dé el espiante la mina
You'll pass by our corner to beg for moneyPasarás por nuestra esquina a mangar para el buyón

Of what you were yesterday, nothing remainsDe lo que fuiste ayer ya nada te quedo
Kid from my neighborhoodMuchacho rante de mi barrio
Who saw you like I didQuien te viocomo te he visto yo
You must be a poor foolManyá que sos un pobre otario
Remember that the life of any big shotRecuerda que la vida de cualquier bacán
Has more twists and turns than an ear, and that, if one dayTiene más vueltas que la oreja, y que, si un día
Luck doesn't go to the suburbs, you'll come backLa suerte no va al suburbio, volverás
